    What a wonderful idea to repurpose those belts! Thanks for the ideas!

    One of the Salvation Army stores here has weekly $1 sales for clothing. If I stop by I try to go that day. I have been picking up Large mens Hawaian shirts and plaid flannels. I almost have enough for a throw of each fabric. I choose the better manufacturers so the fabric is really nice.

    Great idea with the belts!

    Checked out Goodwill store that open nearby recently but no luck finding long sleeved men's shirts that I could use for quilt fabric. They did have several large size men's Hawaian shirts but they were priced at almost $9 each. Better wait until they have their sales. May in Jersey
